Summit Metro Parks rangers ham it up in lip sync video

AKRON, Ohio - The Summit Metro Parks ranger department has taken up a "lip sync challenge" launched by law enforcement agencies around the country.

A lip-sync video, starring four Metro Parks rangers, Executive Director Lisa King and the Metro Leaf mascot, encourages viewers to explore the park district and get to know the rangers. The performance is set to Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe."

Locations featured in the video include Goodyear Heights Metro Park, Sand Run Metro Park and F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm. Liberty Park in Twinsburg and Munroe Falls Metro Park in Munroe Falls also are shown.

The park district averages 5 million visits per year. Summit Metro Parks manages 14,300 acres, which encompasses 16 parks, several conservation areas and more than 125 miles of trails. More than 22 miles of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail fall within its parks.
